Notch activity synergizes with B-cell-receptor and CD40 signaling to enhance B-cell activation.

How diverse environmental cues are integrated to regulate B-cell activation and development remains poorly understood. Here we show that Notch activity synergizes with B-cell receptor (BCR) and/or CD40 signaling to enhance several aspects of B-cell activation and function. We find that costimulation of follicular B cells with the Notch ligand Delta-like-1 leads to significant increases in BCR- ...

Kidins220/ARMS binds to the B cell antigen receptor and regulates B cell development and activation

B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling is critical for B cell development and activation. Using mass spectrometry, we identified a protein kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kD (Kidins220)/ankyrin repeat-rich membrane-spanning protein (ARMS) as a novel interaction partner of resting and stimulated BCR. Upon BCR stimulation, the interaction increases in a Src kinase-independent manner. By kn...

B cell receptor revision diminishes the autoreactive B cell response after antigen activation in mice.

Autoreactive B cells are regulated in the BM during development through mechanisms, including editing of the B cell receptor (BCR), clonal deletion, and anergy. Peripheral B cell tolerance is also important for protection from autoimmune damage, although the mechanisms are less well defined. Here we demonstrated, using a mouse model of SLE-like serology, that during an autoimmune response, RAG ...

The dissociation activation model of B cell antigen receptor triggering.

To detect its cognate antigen, each B lymphocyte contains up to 120000 B cell antigen receptor (BCR) complexes on its cell surface. How these abundant receptors remain silent on resting B cells and how they can be activated by a molecularly diverse set of ligands is poorly understood. The antigen-specific activation of the BCR is currently explained by the cross-linking model (CLM). This model ...

Autoantigen-B cell antigen receptor interactions that regulate expression of B cell antigen receptor Loci.

Levels of AgR (BCR) expression are regulated during B cell development, activation, and induction of tolerance. The mechanisms responsible for and consequences of this regulation are poorly understood. We have described a class of DNA-based autoantigen-reactive B cell that down-regulates BCR expression during development to mature follicular phenotype. In this study, we show that at immature st...
